Vehicle Description

Here’s a '97 Saab 900 SE 2.0 turbo CONVERTIBLE up for sale.  This is a buy it now listing with a best offer feature.  Unlike an auction listing, this car can be sold at any time during the listing.  If you like this car, don't put it on your watch list...and watch it go to someone else.  Click buy it now or make me your best offer! I have included 100 pictures to provide the full story on this car, so be sure to check them out.  A picture is worth a thousand words, so if something is plainly obvious in the pictures, I may not repeat it in the description that follows.  That said, if anything is unclear or if I left out something you'd like to know, please feel free to ask before bidding.  I will happily answer any questions.  I sometimes post Q&As if I think they're a good supplement to the listing, so be sure to check the very, very bottom of the listing for any Q&As or other additions. 

 

This is a nice-looking Saab!  The red metallic paint on this car is in over all good condition.  It shows a few very small bits of clearcoat separation on the hood (pictured) and some scratches here and there, as well as a few of the normal chips and dings you would expect.  All in all, it looks very good as you can see from the pictures.  This car has a set of sharp-looking Ronal wheels.  I have tried to capture the car's appearance in the pictures, so be sure to check them out for the complete story. 

 

The interior of this car is likewise in good condition.  The tan leather upholstery is over all good.  The driver's seat shows some wear, and the cracks of well worn-in leather, but it's not torn or coming apart at the seams as you can see from the pictures.  The power convertible top shows a little bit of wear from use, but it goes up and down flawlessly.  This car has an aftermarket push-button installed to actuate the engine starter, which works well and looks pretty cool (see pictures).  The pictures pretty much tell the story here as well, so be sure to check them all out for all the details on the interior.  This car comes with a full set of owners manuals, and the one factory key shown.      

 

This car runs well and is fun to drive.  It is fitted with Saab's 2.0 turbo motor and an automatic transmission.  The engine runs great and makes great power.  The ignition coil pack was just replaced.  The transmission shifts through all its gears well.  The suspension and brakes feel good.  Worth noting, the tires on this car are mismatched as to brand, and a couple of them are at or nearing the end of their useful lives.  Also, the torque converter control (TCC) solenoid is stuck in the unlocked position, which causes the "check transmission" light and, oddly, also the "check engine" light to come on in tandem (even though there are no engine-related faults).  The open TCC solenoid does not cause any driveability problems whatsoever.  It might cost you 100 or so RPMs at highway cruising speed.  But if you're looking for a luxo-highway-cruiser, this is the wrong car anyway.  This would make a stylish, great island car or condo car...for a great price.    

 

I am a one man car dealer located in Cape Coral, FL.  Please read all of my terms and conditions, which contain important information, before buying (the following is just a summary).  A $250 dealer fee will be added to the winning bid, so please bear that in mind when bidding.  A $500 deposit via PayPal instant transfer is due within 24 hours of the auction end, no exceptions, and full payment is due within 3 days of the auction end, no exceptions.  This vehicle is being offered strictly AS-IS, no warranty.  Please remember this is a used car, not a new car.  If there is anything at all you'd like to know about it that I haven't covered, please feel free to ask.  I can help with very competitive shipping quotes, or transportation from RSW airport for out of town buyers.  Thank you for looking!

Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions

 

1.      Before You Bid

 

1.1.   Read the Vehicle Description and Ask Questions.  I spend a lot of time creating my listings, and I make every effort to thoroughly, accurately and fairly describe the vehicles I offer.  If you have a specific question or concern, or if I missed something, please feel free to ask.  Please keep in mind that I sell pre-owned vehicles.  As with any pre-owned vehicle, minor cosmetic flaws may be visible under close inspection.

 

1.2.   Inspect the Vehicle.  I encourage you to inspect the vehicle personally or through an inspection service prior to bidding.  If you would like to inspect the vehicle, please call to make arrangements.  Most of my vehicles are kept inside.

 

1.3.   Be Aware That Vehicles Are Offered As Is/No Warranty Unless Stated.  Unless otherwise stated in the vehicle description, the vehicle is being sold “as-is”, with no warranty.  I try to accurately and fairly describe any known mechanical or cosmetic issues.  However, as with any vehicle, mechanical or other failures may occur from time to time, and I cannot represent or warranty that they will not.  You are responsible for any repairs made after the sale.   

 

1.4.   Mileage May Vary Slightly.  I indicate the mileage of each vehicle at the time of listing.  Please note that actual mileage may be slightly higher at the time of the end of the auction and/or delivery as the vehicle may be driven while the auction is underway. 

 

2.      Bidding on the Vehicle

 

2.1.   Ready to Bid?  If you’re ready to bid, great!  Please keep in mind a few requirements and courtesies.  Please intend to, and be ready & able to (financially and otherwise), complete the purchase of the vehicle within the timeframes set out herein.  Participating just for sport without the intention to complete the transaction is unfair to me and to other users, and it wastes a lot of time and money.  I may obtain the registered information of users participating in my auctions, and may filter or cancel any bids in my discretion.

 

2.2.   I May End An Auction Early.  "Buy it now" auctions may end at any time if the buy it now feature is exercised or a "best offer" is accepted.  I seldom end "no reserve" auctions early.  However, I reserve the right to end any auction without notice at any time for any reason in my sole discretion. 

   

3.      Completing the Transaction

 

3.1.   Contact Me.  If you are the winning bidder, congratulations!  You must contact me within 24 hours of the end of the auction to make arrangements for the completion of the transaction.  Many of my auctions end well after normal business hours, so sending me a message through eBay is generally the best way.  

 

3.2.   Pay a Deposit.  You must also pay a non-refundable $500.00 deposit via PayPal within 24 hours after the end of the auction to secure the vehicle. 

 

3.3.   Pay the Balance Due.  You must pay the remaining balance due (plus applicable fees and taxes – please see 3.5, below) within 3 days after the end of the auction.

 

3.4.   Payment Methods.  I accept wire transfers, cashier's checks, and cash in person (under $10,000 only). I accept PayPal for the payment of deposits only.  All funds must be in US dollars.

 

3.5.   Fees and Taxes.

 

    3.5.1.  Dealer Fee.  I charge a $250 dealer fee, which will be added to all transactions.  This includes winning bids, buy it now prices, and best offers accepted.  I don't make exceptions for other licensed dealers.

 

     3.5.2.  Sales Tax.

  

          3.5.2.1.  Florida Buyers.  I am required to collect sales tax at the rate applicable in your county at the time of sale. 

 

          3.5.2.2.  Out-of-State Buyers.  If you have the vehicle shipped to your location, I do not collect any sales tax; you will be responsible for paying your state's sales tax directly.  If you come to Florida to pick up the vehicle at my location, I am required to collect either your state's sales tax, or Florida's 6%, whichever is less.  Generally, you will receive a credit in your state for sales tax collected here.  If I collect our 6% because your state's rate is higher, you will be charged the balance in your state.  I always recommend you check with your local tag agency first; although the vast majority of states have a reciprocal sales tax agreement with Florida, a few do not.  Some states also have specific forms or procedures that must be used for out-of-state purchases.

 

   3.5.3.  Tag & Title.

 

         3.5.3.1.  Florida Buyers.  I am required to handle your tag and title work, and I collect an estimate of those costs at the time of sale, which range from $100 to $450 depending on your specific situation.  If the actual cost of title and registration is less than the estimate, I will refund you the difference; if the actual cost is more that the estimate, you will be required to pay the difference before getting your tag and title.  I do not make any money on tax, tag, registration and title fees I collect. 

 

         3.5.3.2.  Out-of-State Buyers.  I will provide you with the vehicle's title, and you will be responsible for handling the tag and title work in your state.

 

3.6.   Exchange Documents and Signatures.  There are, unfortunately, paperwork requirements for completing the transaction, which vary depending on whether you are from out-of-state or not.  These will be discussed when you contact me initially. 

 

3.7.   If You Fail to Pay or Communicate with Me.  I expect the transaction to go smoothly.  However, if you fail to (i) make contact with me, (ii) pay the deposit, (iii) provide me with required signatures/documents, or (iv) pay the remaining balance (including applicable fees, taxes, and charges), within the timeframes set forth herein, I reserve the right to keep your deposit and re-list the vehicle or otherwise sell it as I see fit, without notice, in my sole discretion.  I also reserve the right to report the issue to eBay in my sole discretion. 

 

4.      Take Delivery of Your New Vehicle

 

4.1.   Shipping.  It is frequently less expensive to have a vehicle shipped to your location than it is to fly in and drive it back, and certainly more hassle-free.  I can assist you in finding a shipper and can get very competitive shipping quotes.  You pay the shipper directly and are responsible for delivery arrangements.  I assume no responsibility for damage to the vehicle incurred after it leaves my premises.  Your vehicle will be available to ship out once full payment is received and has cleared; I send out titles once payment has cleared and all other paperwork requirements of the transaction are completed. 

 

4.2.  Pick Up.  I am located at 2645 NE 9th Ave in Cape Coral, Florida.  I am easily accessible from US 41 and from Interstate 75.  If you plan to fly in, I will pick up at RSW - Southwest Florida Int’l Airport in Fort Myers (commercial) or FMY - Page Field in Fort Myers (private) or PGD - Charlotte County Airport (commercial & private) in Punta Gorda.  Please contact me to make arrangements if you are planning to pick the vehicle up.  Vehicles are available for drive-off once full payment and all paperwork requirements are completed.
